** According to the DVD commentary, the sight gag of the baby greeting card factory shutting down due to massive lay-offs isn't funny anymore due to actual businesses implementing lay-offs due to the shaky global economy.
** Homer putting bubble wrap on the playground equipment is also this now that many safety-conscious people have gotten seesaws, roundabouts, and other "dangerous" equipment removed from playgrounds.
** Seeing how increasingly the problem bullying is, the ([[AdultsAreUseless usually ineffective]]) ways to stop and/or prevent it, and the drastic, counterproductive ways that others have dealt with being bullied be it becoming a school shooter or [[DrivenToSuicide killing themselves]], makes the episode all the more difficult to watch.

Not to mention, the fact they appear to have her join in the middle of the school year implies they may have just moved to the area- for all we know, this could either be 1) her outlet to let out pent-up aggression over the move and her parents' inattentiveness and/or 2) be her form of trying to get attention and, albeit rather hypocritically, try to make friends.
